This series introduces CET - Shadow stack

At the high level, shadow stack is:

	Allocated from a task's address space with vm_flags VM_SHSTK;
	Its PTEs must be read-only and dirty;
	Fixed sized, but the default size can be changed by sys admin.

For a forked child, the shadow stack is duplicated when the next
shadow stack access takes place.

For a pthread child, a new shadow stack is allocated.

The signal handler uses the same shadow stack as the main program.

Even with sigaltstack()?
